Default Garage Work

ok everyone.about the swaying problem it was supposed to be the wind.untill i found a control arm with no bushings on both sides on my drives side rear.this is extremely dangerous.if i make a right turnand all the weight is on the left side, all it takes is a bump or uneven road and my rear end goes out of control.it will wiggle really really bad.so i was going to get a new bar untill i couldn't get the bolts off.so yestersay i took it to a garage.now last night i was having an anxiety attack cause i hate garages.so i got six hours of sleep and called them at 7.they were closed and i just picked it up around 4.i posted a pic because the bar is really nice.it feels more strong and stable.ill be out all night tonight so sorry iowa,mat,and everyone else.check out the pics, what a difference.i had to take ground pics and its had to see but you cant miss it.cost:$131.79



still has the sticker S***

You didn't take the pictures of the other bar that was giving you trouble before you installed it?

Anyways, it looks great, and good luck and stay safe on the roads man.

Ok, even if the bushings are gone, how does the bar get bent?

And why does the timing belt need to be tightened???

Just curious...

On a lighter note... should have my new bushings this weekend.

about the timing belt it was old and in bad shape so i got that problem out of the way.

the bar didnt get bent they told me it was mis shaped.
who knows dude,maybe they skrewed me but oh well.either way it had to be fixed..
just going from their perspective

I think you used the same font your your singature as mines N30N. Did you use the first font that was showing on photobucket when you edited the pic and added the text? That was what I did.
